Confected raspberry, tar, flower petals on the nose...screams like a niche perfume. Mid-bodied, nice acid spine, nondescript flavours.
Probably made as best as possible from a middling, non vinifera varietal, not really worth bothering with unless you are trying to tick off varietals. I have now ticked off Isabella, and won't be in a hurry to try again.

Best wine I've had from this producer. Still, again, not a great deal of complexity, and so for the price it's nothing special. But for sheer smashability this is great. Very bright and juicy with pungent blueberry and liquorice aromatics. Reminds me a lot of Ribena, in aroma and taste. Not much else to it, but it is delicious. Better cold.
